I am a software developer and blockchain fan. I recently came across Charles Hoskinson’s whiteboard videos and became very interested in participating in the test net. I am hoping to find info on setting up a full node (tips and tricks) and getting to know the fine folks in this community. ---

Hi, welcome and greetings to Telluride ⛷🏔 I would recommend this brand new published intro for staking in general [https://www.cardano.org/en/staking/](https://www.cardano.org/en/staking/) Then maybe give a look at this topic on this forum > [@List of Cardano / ADA staking pools (Unofficial)](https://forum.cardano.org/t/list-of-cardano-ada-staking-pools/7595/204): > > Only for the first year, tho. They show more awesome system of the fixed reserve decrease rate, instead of fixed inflation. At the shown decrease of 5% a year inflation will be 2.2581% for the first year, 2.0978% for the second one, and 1.2195% in the year 10. UPD: Moved further description and discussion to the separate topic: and finaly think about registering to become a testnet staking pool operator [https://staking.cardano.org/](https://staking.cardano.org/) ---
